Ayers SarsapariIIa,
AN ENTH HU ASTIC E N-
 DOR s E M E N 1T. Prof. Wm. c. Sumner, of Yale College. on the Message.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Dee. 9.-Prof sumner, of Yale College, the distin- guished political economist, is thor oughly delighted with the presi- dents message. He says it is the best he ever read, and that he has marked out plain proposition on g definite political question. "He has avoided mere generalities," says the learned professor, "and struck for living issues" He regards Mir. Cleveland now as the leading rep resentative man of the United States, and he believes that nothing can now stop the progress of tariff reform. The message will put new ideas into the politics of the country and force the fighting on vital prin- ciples. President Cleveland. he thinks, has builded better than he knew and will be triumphantly re elected He does not believe that the republican party will take warn ing from the message and the situa- tion with which it deals, and that it will stand by the policy of protec ton. Pursuing that course, it must surely go to pieces. The admirable message of the president wipes out all the mistakes of the administra. tion and makes Mir. Cleveland strong CT than ever before the people.

The Party F'irsr---Men Alter
 ward.


 The Press desires to give it's heartiest lndorsement to the follow ing from It's contemporary, the Dem ocrat, touching the conduct of the next campaign:
 "The democratic party in Arkan sas is greater than any man in it. The continued supremacy of the party is matter of more importance than the success of any man for any office. Men who are in the way of the success of the party can stifle their ambition and attest their devo- tion to it's principles by following, instead of leading, when it is neces sary to follow. If it be necessary for the highest officers to take of the insignia of rank and get down with "the boys in the trenches" it must be done without murmur. Whatever happens there must be perfect harmony and unity of ac- tion."
 Long continuance in power, won without serious opposition, is more or less always attended by the dan ger of personal or factional fights, Tn which public welfare is unthought of This is the only danger that threatens the democratic party of Arkansas day. Parties are or ganized to secure good government, and not merely to promote individu- als; and when they lose sight of the one in an attempt to secure the lat ter, they encourage aisintegration and invite defeat.-Arkansas Press.

seasonable Suggestions.

RAISE WHAT IS NEEDED.--It is a poor plan and short sighted one, to depend on procuring from 8 dis. tance what can be more cheaply raised at home. If mules are want. ed, what is to hinder few enter prising neighbors from clubbing to- gether and purchasing a first-cass premium jack? Where there is a will there IS a way.
 RYe FoR SoILING LRoP.--On we'll fertilized land, rye for green feed in the spring, may still be sown in the Gulf States. Fertilize we'll and COW one hushel Of seed to the acre. AL though not quite as nutritious as barley, rye will furnish much Iarg- CT amount of feed at time when green feed is exceedingly desirable.
 SHUcKlNG CoRN,--The northern plan of husking corn, that of build ing and putting the stalks from two shocks together Is good one. One needs rope, having light iron ring at one end, with which to draw the tops of the bundles close togeth- CT, previous to binding tightly so hat no rain can enter, and SO that the shocks will not blow over. The more care, the more good nutritious fodder will be saved.

 THE ISLAND OF DREAMS.
BY BEVERLY L. CLARK.

 [The following poem is written af- ter the manner of "The River of Rest" by Joaquin Miller, which was published in the Century magazine. February, 1887. It is unlike in senti- ment, but an exact counterpart in rythm and metre of the poem after which it is fashioned. The Author.l awonderful isle is the Island of Dreams, And it lies on the cincturing seas Of sleep; Like blossom of blue it's soft sky gleams. And as sweet as Q kiss the warm airs o'er . it sweep,
 o, a wonder isle is this Island of Dreams, And the luminous lilies glisten and shine, And the lilies lean in golden line On this wonderful. wonderful Island of
 Dreams.
 No sigh ever shivers it's pendulous air Nor teardrop falls o'er dead love's pail, And no sinuous cerement shroud is there. But the voices of life increasingly cool, And the red lips meet under the myrtle
 blooms fair. o magical is,e is this Island of Dreams, No soul is sore and no sad heart breaks, No soul is unleal and no heart forsakes, ln tnls udBtcdi, thhBicai lniouu VI DreaHss In peacefullest calm, there remain and abide
 you,
 For Savior shall greet you. stretch you a
 hand,
 And take you and guide you, and no woe
 shall betide you,
 When once you are led to this mystical
 strand.
 mystical isle is this Island of Dreams, And the forms of our loved ones shall come
 to us, meet us,
 And the voices of dear ones shall call to us.
 greet us,
 In this mystical mystical Island of Dreams.

THE decision of the supreme court of the Uuited States in the Kansas whiskey cases is important, in that it lays down the doctrine that the States have some rights that whisky Iis bound to respect. Two points were made by the brewers and dis tilIers in these caaes: First, that the prohibitory amendments to the constitution of the United States are void. Second, that as to all brewer. ies and distlllcries erected before the prohIbitory amendment was adopted, the amendment could not apply unless the state made compen- sation, and that until such compen- sation was made the legislature could not prohibit the manufacture of liquors by the owners of such properties" The argument upon which the second point was based was that prohlbitory laws against those liquor factories, built before the amendment was adopted, was taking property without due pro cess of law" Both points have been ruled against the brewers and distil lers by the supreme court, and there is now no alternative left them but to shut up shop.

THF DEMOCRAT to day presents it's readers with the full text of the presidents message. It is plainly written, sensible paper, one that can be understood by the people. The president has not used words to con ceal his thoughts, as some of his predecessors have done, but as a ve- hicle to convey his ideas. The peo- pie may congratulate themselves that president at last holds the office of chief magistrate who has the courage to expose and attack the infamous protective tariff systtm by which it's golden favors are dropped daily and hourly into the coffers of the rich at the expense of the poor and needy. The message is not so much of an argument as it is a statement of fact, presenting. as he well says, not theory but condl- tion. MT. Cleveland has boldly flung the gage of battle in the teeth of the protectionists, and upon the principles openly avowed in that document, the campaign of 1888 will be by the democratic party fought and won,

REPRESENTATIVE MILLs. of Tex


 REPRESENTATIVE MILLS, of Texas, is the first Tn the field with a bill for reform in the tariff. Ills bill provides for a radical reduction of the tariff and an enlargement of the free list by the addition to it of salt, copper, coal, iron and lead ore, wool, flax, lumber and other articles. It makes five schedules of dutiable goods, the first, including liquors, to suffer no reduction. Articles in the second schedule are to pay 40 per cent. duty; in the third 30 per cent; in the fourth 20 per cent. ]; in the fifth 10 per cent, and the sixth contains the additions to the free list. The bill, while it may not be just what is desired in all it's parts, will be the entering wedge in the tariff question, and will be mod. lifted to suit the democratic majority and passed. The democratic major iity must pass tariff bill of some kind during the session. The peo- tple demand it, and the party is on record as having promised relief from the burdens of tariff taxation The Mills bill may not be adopted but if not some other will, and if Il is deputed in the senate the republi can majority there will be responsi ble. Thus will the main issues fol the campaign Of 1888 be formed.

ABOUT six o'clock last Friday af

 were strong, stalwart fellows, with 6
 dare devil air, who went about theil business In way that leaves nc doubt that they are professionals But few minutes were consumed
 Tn the daring act, after which, thu robbers disappeared in the darkness Neither the mail car nor the passen gers were molested. The railroad
 company and express officials have offered reward of $500 each fol the robbers, and this has been sup

Cost of ! Cannery Ontfit.

In view of the great interest in canning factories in the south the following partlculars as to the cost of the necessary equipment as fur nished by the Lynchburg Virglnian by . correspondent from Botetourt county, noted for it's many success tul canning factories may be of in. terest:
 The capacity of the fixtures herein described IS adapted to q s.small can nery." The boiler, with one kettle, would prepare enough of tomatoes, etc., to fill 36000 cans, or three times this number of peaches or ap ples. Every additional kettle would proportionately increase the capaci | ty.
 l The cost of a boiler of 12 horse pow CT is $220; kettle, open, SIT. This
 will do for tomatoes, apples, peaches and all kinds of berries. If corn or peas are to be canned . patent process will be necessary. TLis will cost $225. With this ket- tie you will have set of crates. Leaving out thls we have the fol lowing additional items: Open ket- tie and crates, extra, cost $6 to $8: exhaust box, ST; crane, to esisi crates out of the kettle, SIS; all pumps, $6; oil tank, $8 to $25; free
 pots, $8 to S10; Debow capping tools, $2 each. Two of these will be necessary for each man, but one
 acapper" is sufficient in a small can
 nery.
 The prices of cans, if they are bought at the right time, are for two pound cans $I.7S per hundred; for three. pound cans $2.45 to $3 per hundred.
 The cases of boxes in which the cans are packed for shipment, and which hold two dozen cans, cost for cases that hold twenty four ? pound cans 7c each; for cases that hold twenty four 3 pound cans Sc each. The foregoing statement of ex- penses of starting cannery nothing is said about house to cover the machinery and operations. This may be very plain cheap shed, or some old building may be adapted to the purpose. A house with an area of floor equivalent to A 40 feet
 would be sufficient. Leaving out the cost of the house and the process kettle. necessary if corn and peas are to be canned, the sum of $325 will, I am informed, cover the ex. penses of starting cannery for to- matoes, peaches, apples and all | kinds Of hprriaa

THE annual report of the secretary of the interior on the land grant frauds, recently published, shows how systematic has been the work Of robbing the people of the public domain. Step by step the abuses have grown, and so intricate the network Of legislation and fraud, that it IS almost impossible to bring the railroads to time and make them disgorge. The Secretary points out with exactness the difficulties the department has labored under in dealing with the frauds aud shows with equal clearness how the set tiers on the public domain have been
